Hy,
i'm programming a game browser, so my question is which versions of excessiveplus use which color syntax. I need this information to make the names look right on my playerscreen. For you it's probably a simple question and if i would install the game and look it i would see it. But there are so many games out i have to work on, so i need a little help from their developers otherwise i would run out of time, thx so far

Load the tool Qname. There u can see all syntactic elements. Test a little bit and u will see it very easily.

It's not the problem to understand it. I already understood the syntax, when i had a look at this page:

http://www.excessiveplus.net/docs/names.html

But my question was, which versions uses which colorcode syntax. If all excessiveplus versions use the same colorcodesyntax, it's totaly easy i only have to prove the serverinfostring for gamemod excessiveplus and then i decode all the names the same way, but if there are differences for the colorcodesyntax in older versions so i would have to check the serverinfocvar xp_version to decide which decodesyntax (that i even don't know) i have to use. I hope my question is now more clear. Thx so far.

I can't agree, while scanning all the servers i recieved from q3 masterserver, all the names look ok on non-ecessiveplus servers, but the playernames on excessiveplusservers have a lot of html colorcode and it looks really shit with standart vanillia q3 decode, what for sure is clear, otherwise i wouldn't have asked here.
For the actual version of excessiveplus i wrote now a functional decode. I only want to know if there has been changes on different versions, simple question, i'm not asking for code or help, only a small piece of information.
